The Story:
- History has favored the hosts whenever Orlando Pride and Racing Louisville meet. Across 14 all-time meetings in all competitions, the away side has never come away with a victory.
- Orlando has turned Inter.co Stadium into a difficult place for opponents to visit. The Pride have won six of their last eight home matches and have recorded three clean sheets in their last five games on home turf.
- Anna Moorhouse added another chapter to her growing legacy with the Pride last weekend. Her three-save performance against North Carolina pushed her career regular-season total to 292, setting a new club record and surpassing former Pride goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris.
Quote of the Week:
“It will be a physical game as always. [Beverly Yanez] has installed an identity into Louisville and really turned that club around so credit to her. I am sure she is looking to move up the table as well after some positive results in a three-game week. As always, when we come home and we play in front of our fans we need to put a show on and we really need to bounce back from a disappointing result against North Carolina."
- Head Coach Seb Hines
